We have two or three infested PC/laptop going through our workshop a day at the moment!!
I guess PC Powerspeed is a "Fake Alert Virus" basically a trojan up to alll sorts of no good in the background. No doubt it is asking for credit card details to make your PC go faster or something like that...
Malwarebytes is good as is Norman Malware Cleaner. Combo Fix is a very good "next level" but can make one hell of a mess if used incorrectly.
Try Andrews safe mode tip first and try the manual removal.
Ideally you should download the removal tools and burn to a CD on another PC. (CD's are read only so cannot "catch" the virus and pass it back to a clean PC). Don't use a memory stick for this reason.
If you can't burn to a CD then boot to "safe mode with networking" and download Norman Malware Cleaner and try this.
Once you have the necessary tools downloaded remove the internet connection from the PC, as often the longer you leave it on the web the worse the infestation will get.
Hope this make sense as is some help.
Cheers
Chris
